Rolf Zürrer
I am closely connected to the classical organ music since my high school time. In Schaffhausen, the city of my youth, one of my esteemed teachers at the Münster gave me a first idea of the endless cosmos of the organ world. In those years, my fondness for the works of Johann Sebastian Bach emerged, which has not changed until today.
Since the early eighties I play regularly as a part-time church organist in various reformed congregations in my vicinity. Currently I work in a beautiful mountain church in the town of Rheinau - not far from the famous Rhine Falls.
In the early nineties I started to compose my own music for liturgical use. With the performance of a Good Friday Meditation - you can find several pieces here in Musicalion - I appeared on stage for the first time publically with a greater self-composition in 1998.
More recently, I transfer choral and orchestral works by Johann Sebastian Bach into organ versions and - if necessary - to a solo instrument. "Et incarnatus est" as an example - the beautiful set of the B minor Mass - also sounds very good as an arrangement for organ and oboe.
